Hello everyone, I have a problem with one of the sliding doors on my Pax wardrobe: it seems to be hanging crooked and no longer closes properly. The door no longer slides smoothly along the track and sometimes gets stuck. I have already checked if the rollers have shifted, but I am unsure how to precisely adjust the doors so they run parallel and close cleanly again. Do you have any experience with correcting crooked sliding doors on Pax wardrobes? Are there any tricks on which screws to loosen or adjust without having to completely remove the door? I look forward to your tips!

The sliding doors of the PAX can usually be adjusted at the top rollers. Simply loosen the screws on the rollers slightly and align the door correctly. Then tighten them again. You don’t necessarily have to remove the door.

Oh, I know this issue very well! For me, it helped to completely remove the doors and then check all the rollers again. Applying a lighter lubricant to the tracks and rollers also makes everything run more smoothly. A bit of patience and a gentle touch, and the doors will be as good as new again! 😉

Thanks for the tip! Can you tell me if the rollers can only be adjusted at the top, or do the bottom rollers also affect the alignment? I have the feeling that the door is sitting crooked at the bottom in some areas.

I once had a crooked PAX door as well, and it really annoyed me because I was always worried it would eventually get stuck. It’s important to stay patient. Often, the issue is caused by small changes over many years of use. Making slight adjustments to the rollers at the top made a big difference for me. If you’re unsure, it’s better to make several small adjustments rather than turning things too aggressively.

For precise adjustment of misaligned PAX sliding doors, I recommend the following procedure: - Remove the door to allow for easier handling. - Check the upper rollers and, if necessary, adjust the height using a screwdriver. - At the bottom, there are guide rollers; these should move freely and not be jammed or misaligned. - Tighten all screws and, if needed, apply a light lubricant to reduce friction. - Then reinstall the door and test its operation.
